Meet Kate
It all began with Stormi, Daphne’s kitten who got us through COVID lockdown. Our first Ragdoll kitten. Despite being a devoted cat lover since early childhood I had never considered breeding before. Had never owned a pedigree cat before.
COVID lockdown was a great time for research and making plans. We connected with some amazing breeders who are still mentors to us and we were very lucky to obtain a couple of beautiful cats to start our breeding program. We have loved every minute since then

I use a fine kitten brush. Ragdolls love to be brushed once they get over the “This is a fun game” stage. You will need to spend a few minutes to run a fine toothed stripping comb through them 1-2 times per week during the shedding stage to prevent the fur matting. I enjoy brushing the cats as it’s a great opportunity for bonding. Check the cat carefully every few days when they are shedding their winter coat and then comb out any matted areas before they become unmanageable.

A bed, litter box, wet food and dry food bowls and a large water bowl. Something to scratch like a cat tree tower is very important to prevent the kitten scratching your furniture. Cats love to have a high place to retreat to when they need some quiet time. We will provide a kitten care bag including; food for the next few days, toys, a brush andblanket smelling of their siblings and mum. We also give you a booklet including most the information you will need to care for your new Daphne’s Purrfect Ragdoll.
Don’t forget that we provide lifetime support for the owners of our kittens and we are always available to offer advice when you need it.

Each cat has their own personality but Ragdoll cats generally are very attached to their humans, get along very well with other pets and make great companions for children and adults alike.
Because they are so attached to people they don’t thrive when left alone for long periods so if you live alone and work away from home full time a Ragdoll might not be the most suitable cat for you. Having another or pet to keep them company in the house can help this situation.
Not all Ragdolls are lap cats but most will desire close contact and love being touched. They can have a ridiculous sense of humour or be quite sensible.
Having a Ragdoll cat in your home will provide companionship, love, affection not to mention aesthetic beauty.

We are very invested in finding the best homes possible for our babies. They are raised in our home as part of our family and we choose the best families to adopt them.
Kittens are not allocated in order of application received. It is important to us to match the right kitten with the right home. Temperament is a huge factor when choosing an environment for one of our kittens to spend the rest of their life in. Sometimes applicants will be able to choose a kitten but other times people may be offered a kitten to accept or decline.
We welcome serious applicants who have joined our Priority Applicant List to visit our home and meet our cats. We have a basic infection control policy in our home that visitors must adhere to in order to keep our cats safe which involves removal of shoes when indoors and sanitising hands.
